Download Louisa Picquet, the Octoroon Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
LOUISA PICQUET, the subject of the following narrative, was born in Columbia, South Carolina, and is apparently about thirty-three years of age. She is a little above the medium height, easy and graceful in her manners, of fair complexion and rosy cheeks, with dark eyes, a flowing head of hair with no perceptible inclination to curl, and every appearance, at first view, of an accomplished white lady.

Download Complicit Participation Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In this incisive critique of the ways performances of allyship can further entrench white privilege, author Carrie J. Preston analyses her own complicit participation and that of other audience members and theater professionals, deftly examining the prevailing framework through which white liberals participate in antiracist theater and institutional "diversity, equity, and inclusion" initiatives. The book addresses immersive, documentary, site-specific, experimental, street, and popular theatre in chapters on Jean Genet's The Blacks, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's An Octoroon, George C. Wolfe's Shuffle Along, Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton, Anna Deavere Smith's Notes from the Field, and Claudia Rankine's The White Card. Far from abandoning the work to dismantle institutionalized racism, Preston seeks to reveal the contradictions and complicities at the heart of allyship as a crucial step toward full and radical participation in antiracist efforts.

Download Louisa Picquet, the Octoroon, Or, Inside Views of Southern Domestic Life Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Louisa Picquet, child of a slave mother and her white master, was born in Columbia, S.C., but was soon sold with her mother because she looked too much like her master's other child. Around age thirteen, her mother was sold to Mr. Horton, in Texas, and Louisa was sold to Mr. Williams in New Orleans. Louisa lived with him until his death and bore four of his seven children. After his death, she was set free and moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. The rest of the narrative describes her successful efforts to raise funds to free her mother. As she was only 1/8 African American, much of the narrative is concerned with Louisa's whiteness and that of her mother and other light-skinned slaves and the sexual exploitation they experienced at the hands of white men. Hiram Mattison met and interviewed Louisa Picquet in Buffalo, New York, in May 1860 and published this narrative, much of it written in interview style to preserve Picquet's own words. He included his own "Conclusion and Moral," emphasizing the many instances of slave women bearing their masters' children, and concludes the work with somber details of slaves being burned alive as punishment.
